TEN-TRY Coventry Bears chalked up their fourth successive win in the Premier Division of the TotalRL Conference as they over-whelmed 14-man Derby City 58-18 at Tile Hill Lane.

Conditions suited Coventry's free-running style of play, and for the first time at home this season, they showed their supporters how they can take advantage of any weakness in defence.

The Bears were 12-0 up after three minutes through tries by centre Kurt Johnson and fullback Stuart Lee, both improved by stand-off Graham Healey who continued his excellent kicking form by landing nine conversions.

Derby responded superbly to level the scores before 15 minutes had been played, but as their lack of substitutes told, they tired and Coventry eased away again to lead 24-12 at the break with further tries from scrum-half Scott Clendenning-Fenton and winger Peter Parker.

A second Clendenning-Fenton try was matched by a good effort from Derby, but from that point on the Bears threatened with every move.

Clendenning-Fenton's running left the Derby defence in tatters and he deservedly took the man-of-the-match award after completing his hat-trick.

Johnson also claimed three and there were additions from second row and captain Iestyn Pratt and Rhidian Booth, playing from the bench. p Bears Ladies recorded their first victory of the season, beating Eastern Raiders 24-8 at Colchester.
